chassis mount tq arm question how much time can i drop from my 60' by switching to a chassis mounted tq arm?
right now my best 60' is 1.69 on the stock tq arm, launching around 5800 rpm on the stock rear and stock 342 gears. dont know if i can do any better than that. i have sfcs, lcas, lca relocation brackets, and adj phb. tires are 26x9.50 hoosier qtp DOT @ 22-23psi
11.8 @ 116.90mph run with 1.69 60'

im not spinning, but i seem to have more of a problem with bogging a bit. i figured its the gears holding me back. at 5800-6k rpm, i didnt want to slip the clutch lol

Yes you can actually adjust your "instant center" of your car by moving the front of the torque arm up or down. Moving it down will transfer the weight of your car rearward faster which will hit the tires harder. Moving it up in the front will do the opposite and hit the tires softer.

My $0.02... DD -
My Adjustable chassis mounted T/A is actually set to -3.5 degrees (as measured at the center diff) and, Yes it does indeed hit those tires hard now!
Given all the new rear suspension parts I just added though, that was the intent.

thank you for the replies. i figured on it not deflecting/twisting like the stock torque arm and it should get a lil more power to the wheels
